Hello, I was informed recently when visiting John Lennon’s home and seeing a blue plaque on the wall that the person had to have been deceased for 20 years, just wondering if this is the case if there are exceptions to this?

like I said on the mail out – this will NOT be an autograph signing session – its a respectful tribute to John Sullivan. Please understand that – this is about John Sullivan and not getting your autographs books filled up.

55,573 boys gave up their lives so that we can have the freedom we have today.The bomber command memorial’s upkeep has led to some losing their homes they remortgaged in good faith!!!!!£78 still seem too much?????

Listen, I never said this charity didn’t deserve any money, I said £78 for somebody perhaps who doesn’t earn a lot is steep. That is a fact. Not steep in principle, because the people who gave up their lives for those who live today will always be in debt to their honour. That goes for you and I.

Those who funded this organisation to the point of losing their homes is considered overly thoughtful as well as ridiculous – especially for their families who will obviously have gone through the stresses and strains of seeing their home get sold off.

Some people out there are dubious as to where money ends up with some charities (not necessarily the Bomber Command Memorial) and are entitled to question (before they may consider donating) the amount a charity asks for and to have an opinion on how much is requested.
